Chapter 173: Wingspan in the Sky
"This papaya tastes good. Can you please cut more?"
Su Xia smiled at the waitress beside her, her voice gentle.
With his expensive outfit and a face that looks almost the same as Daniel Wu, he looks like a young and promising elite.
The waitress blushed and whispered, "Wait a moment."
"good."
Su Xia touched her stomach leisurely, feeling very satisfied after eating.
In the reception hall, the rest of the town's public officials were stunned.
They had never seen such a weirdo before. In such a serious place, he ate fruit as if it were a meal, as if he was just a freeloader.
In the past hour, Su Xia ordered more than ten different kinds of fruits and even three dessert cakes.
But this is a reception room, not a place for a buffet!
Due to Su Xia's identity, the others couldn't say anything and could only endure it silently.
But when another portion of fruit was brought up, Wu Zhonggui couldn't help it anymore, he stood up and slammed the table.
"Bang!"
The action came so suddenly that it startled everyone else around.
Wu Zhonggui glared at Su Xia and shouted at him as a superior: "It's already this late, how can you still have the mood to eat when you're sitting in your position?"
He looked grim, as if he wanted to vent all his dissatisfaction with Wang Teng on Su Xia.
But Su Xia still acted like a fool and said calmly: "Waiting is boring. Eating something can make people happy. Why not eat? It's free."
"you……"
Wu Zhonggui gritted his teeth, his chest heaving, and his angry eyes seemed to tear Su Xia apart.
But Su Xia has Yu Tuo's background and is a person with connections who got there through the backdoor.
Even if he really wanted to take action against him, Wu Zhonggui would not dare to do so.
He could only say angrily: "I have taken note of the details of this office trip. After returning, I will personally report to Lord Qi Lang and ask him to contact Yutuo City Lord for a decision. You just wait!"
"Oh, would you like some grapes?"
Su Xia looked calm and handed the fruit platter in her hand to Wu Zhonggui.
The threatening words seemed to be automatically filtered out by his ears.
"you……"
Wu Zhonggui was almost furious by his action.
He really couldn't help it, and slapped the fruit platter in Su Xia's hand.
“Bang!”
The plate flew straight out and hit the wall nearby.
The fruits inside were scattered all over the floor, and Su Xia sighed repeatedly: "Alas, what a pity, supplies are in short supply now, we can't waste them if we don't eat them."
He was not worried about Yu Tuo's reaction. What Yu Tuo wanted was a balance, otherwise he would not have brought him into the intelligence department.
The more Su Xia and Wu Zhonggui disagreed, the more satisfied Yu Tuo became.
Something as trivial as eating some fruit would not attract Yu Tuo's attention at all. He might even praise you for your calm attitude.
"Su Xia!" Sijidao also glared at Su Xia, "I know there is a rift between us, but now we are colleagues. You don't consider the honor of the department, but instead drag us down. This is really too much!"
"Who is speaking?"
Su Xia looked around, and everything was still the same.
Since he started working, he has not spoken a word to Sijidao and seems to be disdainful of communicating at all.
Sijidao was so angry that his face turned red.
“You…you…”
He was so angry that he was shaking, pointing his finger at Su Xia, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
This internal fight within the department was seen by many staff members in the town, but even the mayor did not dare to speak out for fear of causing their dissatisfaction.
Everyone huddled aside, waiting for this quarrel to be over.
But at this moment, the employee who was sweeping the floor near the back door suddenly clapped.
“Pah…Pah…”
He looked over here and smiled brightly while clapping.
In the hall at this moment, the sudden applause seemed harsh.
After the applause stopped, he smiled and said, "As expected of someone chosen by Yutuo City Lord, this level of determination is quite impressive."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and were all stunned when they saw the hunchbacked sweeper.
What's wrong with this guy?
This thought came to their minds at the same time.
In this reception hall, the real people in charge are the three officials from the urban area. Even the mayor can only lower his head and listen to their quarrel. How dare he, a sweeper?
To applaud at a time like this is just to make fun of you!
He even dared to comment on one of the superiors. Wasn't he afraid that they would point their fingers at him?
Given Wu Zhonggui and his colleagues' current status, it would be too easy for them to deal with a sweeper. They could destroy his family with just a flick of their fingers.
But Wu Zhonggui did not show anger as everyone imagined.
He was not stupid after all. He was stunned for a moment before he immediately reacted and asked, "Mr. Wang?"
"It's me."
The sweeping employee walked towards the crowd with a faint smile, and his hunched back gradually straightened.
Even the simple and worn employee uniform could not hide his tall and strong body. A wave of psychic energy that frightened everyone suddenly burst out.
He was so powerful that he seemed to be a different species from the others, and he seemed to have used a special skill, causing his terrifying pressure to cover the entire hall.
“Pah…”
Several junior employees present felt their legs go weak and, unable to bear the pressure, they collapsed on the spot.
One of them fainted directly.
This appearance was truly domineering, without any regard for anyone's face at all.
Su Xia saw it clearly. This guy released his spiritual energy and concentrated it most on those junior employees. It would be strange if they didn't fall down.
Wu Zhonggui hurried over to him, and despite the pressure, he forced a smile on his face and said, "Mr. Wang is really interested and has come so early. We are not good at seeing it, so please forgive us."
"Oh……"
Wang Teng laughed, then reached out, grabbed the fake skin on his face and tore it off.
There was a ripping sound, and the soft face was torn off in an instant.
And Wang Teng's true face appeared before everyone.
It was a very scary face, with centipede-like scars all over the left and right cheeks, uneven and bumpy, a missing piece of the nose, and a crooked mouth, like a stitched monster that had crawled out of a horror movie.
"hiss……"
The timid town clerks couldn't help but take a step back, not daring to take a second look.
This is a face that would give you nightmares. It is hard to imagine how much damage he had suffered.
Even Wu Zhonggui was startled and trembled slightly, but he quickly controlled his reaction and still maintained his smile.
Only Su Xia remained calm and was able to eat.
This guy obviously left the scar on his face on purpose. At his level, he has a very strong recovery ability and can get all kinds of potions. The scar was probably left to deter others.
Wang Teng glanced at Su Xia and said with a smile: "This is just a very crude disguise. I was so close to you and waited for so long, but no one saw it... The masked man was still wearing a mask, so how can you be sure that the dead person was him?"
He actually got straight to the point and got straight to the point.
And this opening statement revealed the situation that was closest to the truth.
"this……"
Wu Zhonggui was confused. He actually ignored the most likely option, which was much more reliable than "coming back to life".
But that person died during the live broadcast, and countless people can prove that his moves, abilities, and physique were exactly the same as the masked man.
Could it be that the masked man has a special ability to clone himself?
"Controlling metal is indeed a very valuable ability." Wang Teng threw away the human skin mask. "I have been traveling for half a lifetime, and I have never met a living person with this ability. I have seen a dead person with this ability in hell before."
It's rare to find such a person.
The probability of two appearing at the same time is even smaller than winning the lottery jackpot.
This is also the reason why Wu Zhonggui and others did not expect this situation.
"Mr. Wang, please sit down and let's chat slowly." Wu Zhonggui personally pulled out a chair for Wang Teng. He really needed this mercenary's powerful strength and rich experience.
But Wang Teng did not sit down, as if he had no intention of talking right away, but instead said a number.
"Forty million."
"ah?"
Wu Zhonggui obviously didn't expect this guy to be so direct. He asked for money right away without any euphemism.
The two parties didn't even exchange basic information. That's not how you negotiate things!
"Forty million, is that... a bit too much?"
He looked embarrassed and seemed to be planning to lower the price.
But Wang Teng asked: "How much damage did the masked man cause to your Coral City?"
Wu Zhonggui: "This..."
At this time, Su Xia, who was sitting on the chair, suddenly said something.
"Forty million is not bad. How about this price? Coral City doesn't lack this little money."
"That's right!" Wang Teng laughed. "Go back and tell Yu Tuo that you, a little kid, should be the minister. Replace these two people!"
"no problem!"
Su Xia smiled and agreed readily.
This person is very direct in his actions. He doesn't care about the normal negotiation process at all. He believes that the right thing to do is to agree immediately.
If he delays a little, he will leave directly, and Wu Zhonggui will not even have time to regret.
If Zhao Si were here, he would not hesitate at all and would agree directly like Su Xia did.
In comparison, Wu Zhonggui lacked some means and courage. No wonder he entered the management of Coral City before Zhao Si, but ended up becoming Zhao Si's subordinate.
"Well... well, let's use this number..."
Wu Zhonggui gritted his teeth, glanced at Su Xia, and said nothing more.
Su Xia was very relieved.
The price of his head has finally increased again, and it has increased significantly. It is more expensive than a human head made of gold.
"Very good, it seems there is nothing to talk about." Wang Teng still did not sit down, "Remember to prepare the money, and then we will hand over the money and the goods."
This guy once again did not play by the rules and confused Wu Zhonggui.
After pretending to be a sweeper for so long, when he showed up he just said a few words asking for money and then left?
At least we have to exchange the most basic information!
Seeing that Wang Teng had turned around and seemed to be about to leave the hall, Wu Zhonggui hurriedly asked: "Mr. Wang, do you know where the masked man is?"
"have no idea."
Wang Teng waved his hand and answered directly.
Wu Zhonggui added: "We can cooperate. I will provide you with information about the masked man, and perhaps we can cooperate more deeply in the future."
Wang Teng smiled and asked, "Then do you know where the masked man is?"
"I don't know yet." Wu Zhonggui said, "But he is very likely targeting my mission this time. How about we talk about it in detail?"
“No need!”
Wang Teng walked towards the entrance of the hall, his tone full of confidence: "There is no need to know his location. The next time he shows up, that will be his death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the clothes on his back suddenly tore apart.
“Sizzle—”
A pair of cold steel wings tore through his clothes and slowly opened behind him.
Countless thin silver-white metal feathers stretched out like sharp blades, emitting a creepy glow.
"Get your money ready, we'll see you later!"
